Coe and M.E.S. Clarke ii An Introduction to Jersey Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands with an area of 45 square miles (118.2 km2) and is situated 14 miles off the north-west coast of France and 85 miles from the south coast of England. Jersey is a Crown Dependency and as such is not part of the UK. The Island is not represented in the UK parliament, whose Acts only extend to Jersey if expressly agreed by the Island that they should do so. The Island of Jersey is divided into 12 Parishes: Grouville, St. Brelade, St. Clement, St. Helier, St. John, St. Lawrence, St. Martin, St. Mary, St. Ouen, St. Peter, St. Saviour and Trinity. Each Parish is presided over by an elected Connétable, who deals with issues relating to civil matters, and by a Rector who oversees ecclesiastical issues. St St John Mary St Ouen Trinity St St Lawrence Martin St Peter St Helier St Saviour St Brelade Grouville St Clement The legislature of the Island is called 'The States of Jersey', members of which are elected by the population; males and females aged 16 or over. The States is comprised of the Bailiff, who is President of the Assembly, the Lieutenant-Governor, 10 Senators, the Connétables of the 12 Parishes, 29 Deputies, the Dean of Jersey, the Attorney-General and the Solicitor-General. All members have the right to speak in the States Assembly but only the elected members (the Senators, Connétables and Deputies) have the right to vote; the Bailiff, who is appointed by the Crown and acts as Speaker, has a casting vote. iii The system of government is comprised of a Council of Ministers and several Scrutiny Panels. There are 51 States members; a maximum of 25 members are in ministerial positions either as Ministers (ten members) or Assistant Ministers (up to 15 members), and up to 30 other members sit on the Scrutiny Panels. The economy of Jersey saw a great deal of change during the latter part of the 20th century, as trade markets became more international and global travel increased; traditional Jersey industries such as agriculture and tourism were superseded by financial services as the dominant industry in Jersey. The Financial services sector (which includes banking, trust and company administration, fund management, accountancy and legal activities) has grown such that it now accounts for two-fifths of total economic activity in Jersey and employs about a quarter of the workforce. iv Key Indicators Economic Data (2010 figures) Gross Value Added (GVA) £3.5 billion Gross National Income (GNI) £4.0 billion States of Jersey: General Funds Income £546 million Net Revenue Expenditure £599 million Income Tax Returns £394 million Prices and Earnings All-Items Retail Prices Index (12 months to Dec 2011) 5.0% Annual increase in average earnings (12 months to June 2011) 2.5% Population Resident population (27 March 2011, Census Day) 97,857 Population per square kilometre (2011 Census) 819 Proportion of population (2011 Census): • working age (women/men 16-59/64 years) 66% • below working age 17% • above working age 18% v 1.

National Accounts 2. National Accounts The concept of Gross Value Added (GVA) provides an appropriate measure of economic activity in Jersey. In essence, GVA is the sum of profits of businesses and earnings of employees. In 2010, total GVA (at basic prices) for Jersey was £3.5 billion. Economic activity can also be considered in terms of the total income of resident businesses and individuals. This aggregate measure, known as Gross National Income (GNI), is derived from total GVA by subtracting income earned in Jersey by non-Jersey owned businesses and adding income earned overseas by Jersey businesses and resident individuals. In 2010, Jersey’s GNI was £4.0 billion. The GVA for each sector of Jersey’s economy is shown in Figure 2.1. Financial services accounted for 41% of total GVA in 2010. Figure 2.1: Gross Value Added by sector2, 2010 Manufacturing, 1.5% Electricity, gas & Agriculture, 1.6% water, 1.1% Public Construction, 6.8% administration, 8.9% Wholesale & retail, 7.3% Other business activities , 9.0% Hotels, restaurants & bars, 3.5% Other business activities: rental, Transport, storage & 15.2% communication, 4.6% Financial services, 40.5% 2 The ‘Other business activities’ sector is made up of a range of services (principally, businesses servicing households or other businesses) and includes rental income of private households, both actual and imputed. 2 2.

  • 3.7 Deputy J.A. Martin of the Minister for Economic Development
    3.7 � Deputy J.A. Martin of the Minister for Economic Development regarding investment from the Tourism Development Fund in the conversion of coastal forts: Would the Minister inform Members whether the total sum already invested from the Tourism Investment Fund to convert coastal forts into bed and breakfast accommodation is £758,660 and the States’ revenue return is estimated to be £65,000 per annum? If so, is he prepared to give an assurance that no further money will be invested in similar projects from the Tourism Investment Fund? Senator P.F.C Ozouf (The Minister for Economic Development): The Tourism Development Fund (TDF) has awarded 2 grants for the coastal forts and fortifications project: the first for £250,000 and the second £340,000, making a total of £590,000. These are for 10 sites. These grants are entirely in line with the stated objectives of the TDF scheme. The initiative is a joint project between Economic Development and Transport and Technical Services, Planning and Environment and the Jersey Heritage Trust, who are the project managers. Sir, this is a great project, almost symbolic of the renaissance that we are beginning to see in the tourism economy. The project achieves several States’ objectives. These are important sites and the refurbished sites make a distinctive product for developing both niche tourism and local access. Moreover, I am delighted to report to the Deputy that we even received a Daily Telegraph on Saturday telling the whole of the United Kingdom about our great project. Bookings are now well out to 2010 and this is an example of a fantastic TDF project.

  • The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey's
    The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey’s National and International Identity Interim Findings Report 1 Foreword Avant-propos What makes Jersey special and why does that matter? Those simple questions, each leading on to a vast web of intriguing, inspiring and challenging answers, underpin the creation of this report on Jersey’s identity and how it should be understood in today’s world, both in the Island and internationally. The Island Identity Policy Development Board is proposing for consideration a comprehensive programme of ways in which the Island’s distinctive qualities can be recognised afresh, protected and celebrated. It is the board’s belief that success in this aim must start with a much wider, more confident understanding that Jersey’s unique mixture of cultural and constitutional characteristics qualifies it as an Island nation in its own right. An enhanced sense of national identity will have many social and cultural benefits and reinforce Jersey’s remarkable community spirit, while a simultaneously enhanced international identity will protect its economic interests and lead to new opportunities. What does it mean to be Jersey in the 21st century? The complexity involved in providing any kind of answer to this question tells of an Island full of intricacy, nuance and multiplicity. Jersey is bursting with stories to tell. But none of these stories alone can tell us what it means to be Jersey. In light of all this complexity why take the time, at this moment, to investigate the different threads of what it means to be Jersey? I would, at the highest level, like to offer four main reasons: First, there is a profound and almost universally shared sense that what we have in Jersey is special.

Martin of St. Helier Deputy G.C.L. Baudains of St. Clement Deputy J.G. Reed of St. Ouen Witnesses: Senator P.F.C. Ozouf (The Minister for Economic Development) Mr. M. King Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier (Chairman): Welcome to this now public hearing of Jersey Telecom Sub Panel. We have now got all members here so we are fully quorate. Welcome, Philip. If I may I would like to start us off by talking about the J.C.R.A. (Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority) and the opening up of the market. I will start with the most recent information I have received in the paper today that the hearing on the number portability has once again been postponed. Would you happen to know any reason for that? Senator P.F.C. Ozouf (The Minister for Economic Development): You have an advantage over me, Chairman, of having read the J.P. (Jersey Evening Post) but I am aware of this and I have to say that I will ask Mike King to comment on this. I am pleased to hear that the hearing is off because of the reasons … I will let Mike explain and then make a comment. Mr. M. King: Yes, I think it is fair to say that the E.D.D. (Economic Development Department) assessment of the situation regarding the hearing on O.N.P. (Operator Number Portability) was that there was room for discussion between particularly Jersey Telecom but also other operators and the regulator to look at alternative ways of resolving the issue of portability in the shortest timeframe, at the lowest cost and in such a way that would deliver to the customers of Jersey a solution which would allow them to have full number portability and free up the market.
